Keeping It Reel: An Actor's Blog

I'm always thinking. Sometimes I write. So think of this blog as my mental sketchbook. You never know what I'll post. Sometimes it might be a written post. Sometimes it might be just a photo or drawing.

I will continue turning this week. A huge thank you to Arvold Casting (http://arvoldcasting.com/) for the opportunity to work on this most amazing television series.

They're the most important marketing tool for an actor. They are your business card to casting directors and to the world. Above are some selected photos from my recent session with Photographer Jeremy Bustin . These photos aren't technically head shots. They are more horizontal in layout. Below is a headshot .
